How to install updates and upgrade Ubuntu

apt-get is the command-line interface to the package handling utility. It has an update option to ensure the local package index files are in sync with the source of any locally installed packages. After updating the index files, you use the upgrade option to physically install newer versions of any installed packages. If running apt-get as anyone besides root, make sure to use sudo to execute the command as a superuser.
